Safe, but not spacious
Enter-Oost is a neighbourhood that hits the national median on almost every wealth & income measure: property value sits a fraction below it, the shares of higher and lower incomes come out at what is usual in the Netherlands, and only social assistance is slightly above. The result is a 6.1 that tells no story about rich or poor, but about average.
The 9.3 for safety does tell one. Violent offences are recorded here at roughly a fifth of the national level, and that is the heaviest component in this pillar; only burglary sits slightly above the median.
Against that stands a 4.4 for quiet & nature, and it does not come from bustle: fewer than three thousand people live on a square kilometre here, which is not an urban density. The green in the surroundings and the tree canopy both stay below the national median, noise levels are above it, and there is no surface water.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Enter-Oost?
In Enter-Oost the police recorded 25 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Enter-Oost calculated?
Enter-Oost scores 9.2 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Enter-Oost lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
